Two examples of Sweetened Backlight. That big key light in the sky is always on the move so relying on it for longer scenes is a risky business. If we were shooting a lengthy dialogue scene I’d block it out and recreate its effect with hard, specular units. At this location, where we needed to get in and out in a hurry, we simply worked quickly. Adding a bit of non-toxic smoke defined our streaming backlight beautifully and a distant front-side ARRI S30 SkyPanel set to “Paparazzi - Flashbulb Mode” added a whisper of active fill. Low to camera-right, an ARRI L7-C spotlight contributed a bit of industrial green designed to enhance Dylan’s malevolent character. As Stevie operated the EOS 1Dx MKIII in 5.5K RAW mode, I chased Dylan’s beautiful Buddy Blaze “Evanator” guitar with a handheld Stella Pro to define its details. When Stevie widened his shot, I tracked back with him and rhythmically - but randomly - blasted the front element of the EF 16-35mm F/2.8L III to create light flairs. Subtle splashes of orange were contributed by small magnetic LED panels peppered about the machinery. Remember; bold or subtle, light always makes the shot. Always. #canonexploreroflight #1dxmkiii #teamcanon #canoncps #canonusa #arriskypanel #stellaprolights #arri #sandiskextremeteam #arriambassador #teamdorn #buddyblazeguitars #musicvideo #cinematicvideo #guitar #directorofphotography @stevie_thunder @dylanjd11 @stormofperception @mykk.hannan @mottz88

I’m soooo impressed with the Canon 1DxMKIII! One minute we’re rolling in-camera 12 bit 5.5K RAW video and then, with the flick of a switch, I’m banging out an unending burst of 20.1 megapixel RAW stills files at 15 -20FPS. Brilliant! We shot a promotional video - and a smattering of stills - for Buddy Blaze Guitars in just a few hours. Amazing. The insanely versatile LED ARRI SkyPanels supplemented the streaming sunlight and my handheld Stella Pros added spice. Too. Much. Fun. #canonexploreroflight #1dxmkiii #teamcanon #canoncps #canonusa #arriskypanel #stellaprolights #sandiskextremeteam #arriambassador #teamdorn #buddyblazeguitars @stevie_thunder @dylanjd11 @stormofperception @mykk.hannan @mottz88

Shooting a metal video in a metal shop? Yep. Sparks are about to fly... @stevie_thunder #canonexploreroflight #musicvideo #directorofphotography #teamcanon #canousa #canoncps #kevindooley #1dxmarkiii #arriskypanel #stellaprolights @dylanjd11 @mykk.hannan @jheem_jheem

My first half-hour with the Canon 1Dx MKIII. Initial impression? It’s a beast! Being a Canon camera, the UI is totally familiar. That said, I need to dig into the newest features and see what she’ll really do... Disclaimer: I don’t have a beta of the updated Canon DPP RAW processor so these available light images are pulled from medium-sized in-camera jpeg sidecar files. Camera: EOS 1Dx MKIII Lens: EF 200mm F/2L IS II Picture Style: Landscape Mode: Manual WB: 6000K SS: 1/500 Aperture: F2.2 ISO:200 Model: @mara_thunder #canonexploreroflight #teamcanon #environmentalportrait #beauty #canonusa

My first half-hour with the Canon 1Dx MKIII. Initial impression? As a stills camera, It’s a speed demon. Tomorrow I’ll roll some RAW 4K to see how it fairs as cine camera. Can’t wait! I don’t have a beta of the updated Canon DPP RAW processor so these available light images are from medium-sized jpeg sidecar files.

Hatched under an incubation tent where their momma buried her eggs, these newborn Golfina turtles will be released into the sea right at sunset. They release them in the dark to avoid excessive losses to aerial predators. Go Babies Go!!
